Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival (Maine) was amazingly wonderful, especially after the rain on Wednesday. 4 perfect weather days and chilly, glove-wearing nights for picking.

I learned this fiddle tune from a Kaia Kater video. Half Irish from the playing of Snake Chapman.

"Summersome" is a new piece for banjo that I've been working on writing and learning to play this July. As part of the practice & learning, I made this video last night.

We just learned this tune, Cookhouse Joe, from Adam Hurt as well as this video. Groovy!

This is the Tui Band version.

For Fiddle Tune Friday, I have a banjo tune! This is from Canadian banjo guru, Chris Coole. I learned it from Victor Furtado.

I have a new original song out called, “Spelunking in the Attic.” If you’ve ever explored the attic of an old house hoping/expecting to find some wonderful treasure or antique, this song might strike a chord.

For my latest Banjo Folk Song of the Week workshop (#104), still with St Patrick’s Day in mind, I’ve chosen the traditional Irish song The Rising of the Moon. youtu.be/IprG5Hqs3H0

Played a show in Rhode Island this afternoon. They are trying to build an audience Sunday afternoons at Richmond Smoke. It’s a cigar bar (and also cigs), like the old days. A mix of “the regulars” and bluegrass fans.

And now for something completely different on banjo, but strangely natural. A middle eastern tune on fretless by Victor Furtado.

2 years ago, I entered a raffle, figuring the worst that could happen was I donated $100 to a good cause, the Arnold Shultz Fund, which supports people of color playing “traditional” bluegrass and old time music. Instead, to my surprise, I won a really nice banjo, made and donated by Pisgah Banjo Co.!

Tickets are available thru the end of February. pisgahbanjos.com/product/arnol

Reuben’s Train performed by the Ben and Ruth Band with Victor Furtado (banjo) and Mike Siegel(bass) at Bluegrass Tuesdays at Lily P’s in Cambridge, MA.
Also performing last night was BB Bowness of Mike Twelve. Where else are you going to get 2 winners of the Steve Martin Banjo Prize on one night!?

I have a new original song that may feel appropriate for people of a certain age who suffer from CRS (Can’t Remember Shit).
